Liked: Great location. Very quirky pitch but loved it. A world away from the mega-sites nearby. We just fancied something smaller and we got it! Our own loo!! Great for a night or two. Football pitch, park and Forest walks on the doorstep. Lovely.

Liked: Booked by accident, intended to book for the end of June but mistakenly booked for end of April and so glad we did. What a wonderful find, single pitch with it's own sink for washing up, a clean toilet, a table, chairs & sun umbrella overlooking wonderful forestry. We saw some deer and just before we left the owner (Vince) greeted us with some fresh eggs from his chickens and told us there are some wild boar in there too. It's also an amazing sun trap, south facing so we had sunshine all day long. Looking forward to our return visit in June.

Liked: You get private facilities as it's a one-van site. The woods are walking distance, practical to walk the dog when arriving/leaving without having to drive elsewhere.
Disliked: When out of the van (and in the woods) I could hear traffic. I couldn't hear it when inside the van, so it didn't bother me for sleeping.

From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Alice, it's always appreciated. Glad to hear you got to explore some of the local forest trails with your dogs. ☺️

Liked: everything, what an absolute gem. i reversed in which gave us a wall on the nearside, a low wall on the offside with a babblingbrook 6 feet below. the other side of the brook was a vast open scrub land. and what was there to greet us, 2 large deer, my grand daughters were sqeeling with delite, and heavan knows how many photographs they took. the hook up cable was neatly hung up in a garage, where there was also a kettle, and the toilet was amazing. i would strongly reccomend this client for an overnight or longer stay. only wish the weather was warmer, we would have liked to do the forest walk but it was bitter. i will stay here again thatsa deffinate.
Disliked: NOTHING.

Liked: Lovely location with beautiful walks. Vince messaged in advance to say he wouldn't be home so would not be able to greet us on arrival. He explained everything we needed to know in his text, even down to local walks.
The toilet and surrounding area was clean. We were lucky with the weather so we didn't need to use the storage area (fab extra space if needed). Fresh eggs were left for us (thank you). Vince called in to check we were ok when he got back home. We had a lovely weekend, thank you 😊
Disliked: Nothing.
